About Gogs
Gogs is a self-hosted Git service that you run on your own server. It is built to be simple to install and light on resources.
What it does
Gogs gives you a web interface for hosting Git repositories on your own machine. It is distributed as a single binary, and it can also run as a Docker container. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows and ARM systems, so you can pick the hardware that suits your team.

Who it's for
Gogs suits small teams, students and hobby projects that want their own Git server without a large setup. It is also a good fit for anyone with a small virtual server who needs a lightweight option for private code.
Pricing and good to know
Gogs is open source under the MIT license, so there is no fee to use it. You run it on your own hardware, which means you handle backups, updates and security yourself. Setup usually takes only a few minutes, and the project publishes configuration and reverse proxy guides.
